in egypt there are signs mohamed morsi might be giving in to opposition pressure after tens of thousands converged on the presidential palace by dialog remains a distant prospect. i would be highly skeptical of any intelligence rendered by the one hundred forty plus billion dollar us intelligence community those two weapons of mass destruction in the possession of another country period the us and britain the increasingly building up a case against syria claiming it's very to use chemical weapons we look at whether the iraq lesson has been learned. meanwhile the u.k. seeking to change the e.u. arms embargo on syria to step up to help for the rebels despite fears the aid could fall into the hands of radical islamists. said tragic turn in the coverage of the

u.k. royal pregnancy with the suspected suicide of a nurse all before because of a frenzy which some say has gone too far. it's seven pm here in moscow you're live with us on our team with me to bomb say they gyptian opposition is growing pressure on president morsi is starting to yield results following days of protests culminating in tens of thousands strong march on the presidential palace this friday signs of appear that the islamist leader might give in to one of the key demands a controversial referendum on an islamist led constitution could be delayed but that still would not guarantee an end to the standoff as cairo based reporter explains. the president may see the referendum perspiring here in egypt provided

the opposition forces open dialogue with the president's without preconditions which people see on the streets as leading without the rest of their demands here the presidential palace doesn't say spontaneous sitting over nights in protest of this controversial decrees that president morsi released two weeks ago which they see as a power grab and of course the constitution which is due to go to refer in the next week which they seized dismiss as it was written right is that is the marines his constitutional assembly overnight scenes here were tense as the mission brotherhoods gathered in nearby mosques to the presidential palace and the room was made march on the city and however that never happens the scenes were very calm after we witnessed extraordinary scene yesterday when hundreds of thousands of protesters just outside the presidential palace in front of republican guard barricades storms the republican guards who essentially stepped aside and let the flood of the flood of protesters through to the gates of the presidential palace to

continue their protest right in front of the gates shouting leave morsi leave and against the constitution very emotional scenes here on the streets meanwhile the opposition forces in the national salvation front have said they will not budge they have a list of key demands which includes the referendum being stopped and also because the curation this contentious decree being revoked they said they will not speak to the president and until you listen to the demands of the moment the president is sticking by his guns to really we're still seeing a deadlock here in egypt. and he is keeping an eye on developments in cairo and in one of the latest updates she's posted on twitter she tells how the military is again making a concrete barricade outside the presidential palace but this time even higher follow her tweets on r g underscore calm. main all reports in the egyptian media suggest the president morsi will soon authorize the military to help

police keep order but some analysts fear the army's close involvement would mean the country plunging deeper into political chaos. at this point you should have known the gathering the frost and goodwill of the egyptian people is more important than any specific action he wants to accomplish so things are really very dangerous in egypt now and i hope the violence will not follow the strand of confrontations in front of the presidential palace my fears are that the military mr ben no clear clear of the dark for himself i don't think it's dangerous in terms of morsi using the roundest power to crush and kill thousands and thousands of egyptians i don't think he will go that route so my feeling is only from the military military have a history of doing those things in egypt or elsewhere. and public outrage is also

spilling onto the streets of kuwait later this hour we'll report from what was once thought to be one of the most stable gulf wanting peace which now seems to be swept up by the next chapter of the arab spring. british police are still giving no details about the death of a nurse who was fooled by a prank telephone call about the pregnant duchess of cambridge the uncertainty only adds more speculation over the already headline grabbing story of britain's royal baby which has now taken a tragic twist as well geez what a boy to report some are suggesting the frenzy had already reached a feverish level of media coverage. all this taking place against a backdrop of intense media speculation and a real media circus the whole pos week over at news that kate middleton is pregnant we've seen discussions about whether or not kate could be having twins if kate has twins which of the babies potential babies would be the ones succeeding to the

throne if it was if they were delivered by c. section it would be the physician potentially deciding who is the successor to the british war nicky we've seen bookmakers taking bets on what this baby might be called predictions that this will already be the most popular name in britain as soon as the name is announced all this you know when we've got real news taking place in syria a political crisis in egypt and. the press much more interested in kate middleton's acute morning sickness i'm joined by cost curve in the studio here with me he's a london journalist who's been following the story cause a tragic wake up call to the grocery here. it certainly should be. a very very tragic circumstance under which are still under investigation by the police but the real issue is of course the media which blew itself out of proportion i believe that you may know when a student david story broke the daily mail devoted fourteen put its first fourteen

or thirteen pages of the newspaper one of the most read newspapers in the country to the royal baby we've just had the leveson inquiry a damning report about the state of the british media and now this you know it is this more criticism for the british media in the way it's following these stories while there is other news taking place and internationally well again it should be but it isn't because the media is trying to deflect attention away and is calling for the finding of due to australian great radio deejays the media is not questioning the monochord coverage they are devoting to your family and what consequences the abuse may have an individual's life if we have. a media which was more reasonable just when that happened if the suicide is actually proven to be related to you to what happened today you have right now the juke and duchess of cambridge have said that deeply saddened by the news the tragic news of this the death of the royal not so what should have been a joy for the pregnancy announcement has been you know some say because of the

disproportionate media coverage chimed into a very tragic news story. just to remind you you can always check our twitter feed for the latest news updates current london bureau is following the protests in the city against starbucks and database have threatened to private companies shops over the negligible corporation taxes it's paid in britain despite huge revenues more videos and pictures from the day of action on the twitter page. burchill has joined the u.s. and claims to have intelligence suggesting syria might be preparing to use chemical

weapons western countries have set the use of such weapons would trigger a foreign military intervention the situation is increasingly joining parallels with the run up to the invasion of iraq ten years ago how t. has been seen from the u.s. state department chief of stuff lawrence wilkinson who was behind the report laying out the case for the iraq war we all assembled what he thinks is next with syria and how justifiable the fears are about the chemical arsenal. i would be highly skeptical of any intelligence rendered by the one hundred forty plus billion dollar us intelligence community as to weapons of mass destruction in the possession of another country period i am not violating any great confidence or any great vision in the intelligence community to tell you that we've known for years years that syria has chemical weapons stockpiles just as iraq had chemical weapons stockpiles for a while but the fact that president assad would be moving them around and preparing

them for use against his own citizens within his own territory i frankly find for fosters i think that if we were to intervene in a substantial way that is to say we were to put troops on the ground marines soldiers and so forth and we were to do in syria what we began to do in march of two thousand and three in iraq it would be even worse than iraq i think also that it would be again a back door as a war into iran which is the as you well know the real threat that we've been putting out there for years now so i think you're looking at a combination here not just syria i think ultimately the target is iran. and further efforts against president assad to britain is looking to press its european partners to view the arms embargo on syria and then says it wants to help rebel groups more via great to aid in shipments of military gear but as artists are for as we explains the european military aid could end up in the wrong hands. well the

u.k. foreign office has confirmed this week britain is going to be thinking an amendment to the arms embargo on syria making it easier to help the opponents the syrian president bashar al assad now a foreign office official has said that the practical support is likely to include training and non-lethal equipment britta want to play a role in syria after the other side regime falls because. they would like to be involved. so therefore. wants to back the winning side. never will provide. the trouble for. the counter i did for eventually. which side would you support. what would be the interests of the militia. here when they take power because the danger is there is new. leader of the opposition because twenty.

therefore if but you leave power. in syria then. apart. in fact fred what a lot of the end of the day is going to be the syrians are going to decide not britain from. now currently items such as body armor and night vision goggles a caught up in the arms embargo and say the amendment would allow items like that to be supplied of course throughout the conflict in syria we see in an increasingly fragmented opposition and so there is a lot of concern that the supply of any weaponry could well end up in the wrong hands nonetheless britain will be pushing ahead this week seeking the elements. well a little over a year before the next winter olympics the whole city of sochi and some of the end of russia is getting a break over prepared to tow

a little later on in the program we travel to the area to see how preparations are going on one of the world's main sporting events. invented by the famed soviet orthopedic of really bizarre for the nineteen fifties these frames for initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up for their for stimulating tissue regeneration it was out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life about a third of patients admitted to the result of center now days seeking series focus magic reasons most of them and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novikov who operated on many of them it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg length quest to meet is fifteen centimeters to the wall to surgery. because

panos to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their heads like lengthening surgeries a band in many countries and even the out there press expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others in america advertised as one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so on eight centimeters would have brought me right to average for women height isn't so important girl can be sure it's not a big deal i hear guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation most this matter a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite in dealing yet he still want to have had the surgery adding

seven more centimeters to he self-confidence she told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. so now or so they call you so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. you're watching r t. more than one hundred thousand have joined celebrations marking the twenty fifth anniversary of hamas a call to address by the exiled leader of the group khaled mashal who's in gaza for his first visit they in decades michel regenerated the mission of liberating palestine and defying israel and to urge arab countries to support the resistance for more on this let's not talk to show me no one a commentator and political analyst joining us live now i mean i wonder why has

this symbolic the return of the exiled hamas leader now become possible. why i think the simplest reason is because you have a new islamist egyptian government that is willing to let him cross into gaza from egypt there is of course the more complicated answer which is the geopolitics of the region has shifted a lot from the arab uprisings and hamas has been a key player that the parties on either side of the q political fault line would like to cultivate you know for countries like israel the united states everything happening in the region today is viewed through the prism of how this helps or hurts iran and right now it looks like michele is the lesser threat so so i think you know in the aftermath of the attacks in gaza. in denver it's open the door for this kind of event now it is space meshal called for unifying the

palestinian authority and representatives all the rival group palestinian group fatah they were also invited to this event do you believe that this reconsideration attempt is genuine from. well you know it's always been regardless of what the two parties felt it's the culture in populations who have always demanded that these two groups reconcile to put forth the possibility of you know a political solution for palestine but these these two groups are very different in the in what they believe and they belong to two different geo political camps in the region their demands are different. whether genuine or not it doesn't matter the question is whether. it's possible and i don't think reconciliation is possible with with the demands of both parties being so far apart what impact do you expect today's event to have inside israel after all benjamin netanyahu has already facing

criticism for signing the cease fire agreement after the recent conflict with gaza that many believe strengthened thomas and today looks like a very vivid demonstration of that. well before the conflict in the red in november gaza had no deterrent it was basically israel's punching bag those eight days where you know palestinians fired several thousand missiles made a huge difference of course it makes the israelis nervous they don't like to be sitting there and they don't like to be told that they are the defeated party this is you know fairly unprecedented except for of course hezbollah's defeat of israel in two thousand and six they'll be dying to prove themselves once they can't because every day that the conflict went on and of them for it made iraq and palestinian islamic jihad and his book look better and. the factories the us you in france look worse because you know these are people who

are talking about arming the resistance in syria and pushing forward but not willing of course to arm the resistance in gaza so so israel has had to sit tight or risk a lot more potentially now one of the centerpieces of today celebration is the model of the medium range rockets launched at israel during the recent conflict what do you think it signifies a mere symbol of what the palestinians see as a victory or a promise of future military confrontation. look i think. resistance does not kill for kicks the carefully calibrate any military confrontation because they know they know more than anyone and the repercussions. of miscalculation military confrontation i think the rockets are sign of two things one that all options are back on the table that the military option for rebels seems to resist

militarily is now a possibility and the second reason the rocket count is i think it's a sign that deterrence has been reestablished now we've seen at today's event and how strong come us has become recently when you see flags of his supporters from over a dozen countries does the group have a chance of expanding its pall over palestine despite mahmoud abbas's recent triumph at the u.n. . i'm not sure that. the un is all that i think the fact that. now palestinians are actually close to getting back to a one state solution abbas goes and seeks a two state solution again but what today's today tomorrow is tomorrow these are just words today good words i think that michelle made in a speech. but we also have to realize this is not entirely a hamas victory there were other palestinian participants involved the palestinian

would you hired the popular front for the liberation of palestine how mass was in you know as good as things look today how much also has the difficulties that needs to overcome they are being pulled by two sides of sort of the real. political line to make a choice to choose a side and and it's going to be a rough road ahead so actions are going to definitely count louder than words for hamas and what they do not just today or tomorrow but in the coming months will count the moment they start to look like become you know too willing to deal with the israelis they actually lose out altogether so we have seen this up and down trajectory for a long time now with not just other political parties in the region i think we just need to wait and see could. mean that no one the libel from beirut commentator and political analyst covering the middle east and a senior associate at cent of tani's college oxford thank you very much for joining

us. why well countries like egypt may now be turning another page and its arab spring revolution one of the older gulf one accuser still on page one largely unnoticed in the west coates' rulers are cracking down on protesters and blocking the opposition's political moves but all of this is energizing the resistance even more as i tease you see caffein are reports. and you are cool late tensions are simmering beneath the calm as those seeking political change are forced to wait. one sleepy community into a powerful nation although it's been ruled by the same family for more than two centuries whose weight is widely seen as the most i'm aquatic of the gulf monarchies get some young kuwaitis beg to differ there is a few countries. but.

it's just. the government says that it is doing all it can to maintain stability supporters of the ruling family point out that it boasts a robust public life with electoral traditions and a vibrant parliament for youth activists. that's not enough the opposition consists of an unlikely alliance of youth groups hard line islamists and local tribes who are ramping up their calls for reform increasingly they've taken their message to the street for peaceful demonstrations have been met with an iron fist that we were beaten up by. the special forces. and after the march. on the streets just being the thing that. critics of kuwait's government claim it turns a blind eye to allegations of widespread corruption and the use of security forces to crush dissenting voices ask for the rule of law so we don't have a law we have a law that is being used whenever the government feels like using the riffs here

began years before the arab spring protests but have intensified over a series of political crises the opposition dominated parliament was dismissed earlier this year following a row with the ruling establishment the electoral law was then changed prompting many to boycott kuwait's most recent parliamentary vote the resulting divide is unlikely to be bridged anytime soon and it leaves the monarchy with an energized opposition eager to make itself heard i sat without. this was really more current rate cut down to what people are trying to claim i think that there are going to be in the local system we want more or you know more of the right. whatever this one show is that almost isn't enough was. going to say in the future now that future please don't write the next chapter of the arab spring you see kathy r.t.

. two other stories now egypt has arrested as suspects accused of involvement in killing the u.s. ambassador to libya in september egyptian intelligence sources say the man is believed to be a member of a militant group the suspect has also been accused of transporting weapons from libya to egypt. a police officers were injured and that these twelve people detained overnight dryads in northern ireland were british protesters clashed with police over the council's vote to remove the u.k. flag from belfast city hall police have tightened security and brains for more demonstrations expected late on saturday the recent rally is the second this week after violent clashes between protesters and police on monday. there's a break in the world's best figure skaters are testing the olympic eyes in russia as a result city of sochi khandaan is in full swing was just over a year left until the winter games artie's medina reports from the next olympic
